University protesters at @Columbia @nyuniversity @MIT and other academic institutions are receiving the classic Zionist treatment, or as I call it -

The "Zionist one-two propaganda punch"

A thread 🧵1/ 2/ Zionist propaganda depends on the promulgation of two major fallacies. First, it ahistorically equates Zionism and Judaism as interconnected since biblical days, instead of correctly presenting Zionism as a modern European movement with Christian roots.

The liberal Zionist group @BtSIsrael functions to sanitise and revise the reactionary, settler-colonialist and white supremacist essence of the movement and obscure its motivations – expansionism and apartheid.

On Zionists, fundamentalism and an alliance involving starvation of Palestinian people and red cows.

A thread 🧵 1/

Over time, secular Zionists have cultivated a symbiotic relationship with extremist cultoid fundamentalist groups, both Christian and Jewish. 2/ The arrangement has been straightforward: Zionists offer military protection, cover and a modicum of respectability for these extremist cultoids, their beliefs and actions within a so-called liberal state,

The genocide in Gaza will be over sooner or later and the world will have to confront a new reality. Here’s where things can go.

A cautionary thread 🧵1/ 2/ Israel and the US have lost, meaning the decline of the “west” led by the US empire, Europe and the white man is inevitable and will accelerate.

Short reality check (3/20/24): For the past 165 days, since Oct. 7th, 2023, the Palestinian people, particularly inhabitants of Gaza but also the West Bank, have been enduring a brutal Zionist campaign of murderous violence, annihilating tens of thousands of lives,

Brief survey of Israeli media in Hebrew

Every few days I scan Israeli media in Hebrew to see whether there is any kind of resistance. I always come back discouraged.

A thread 🧵1/ 2/ In general - Zionism is the consensus and only gaining strength. There’s no debate about the morality of this genocide. Quite the contrary - it’s heresy.

It is crucial to remain vigilant against the reemergence of liberal Zionist narratives. If there's any progress to be had from the hell Palestinian people have been immersed in, it's the death of this pernicious propaganda.

A thread 🧵 1/ 2/ In contrast with the call for BDS and the failures of decades of negotiations, some insist that peace and justice can be achieved by means of dialogue and compromise between Palestinians and Zionists.

In a special address for Holocaust Remembrance Day, Netanyahu:
(i) stresses Israel is a rogue state with no intention of upholding international standards;
(ii) regurgitates debunked atrocity propaganda about Oct 7 (babies, rape et al.);

1/ 2/ (iii) slanders South Africa, the UN and Hamas (“the new Nazis”);
(iv) says the primary lesson of the Holocaust is that “only we can defend ourselves.”;
(v) the IDF is the most moral army in the world;
(vi) the only solution is destruction of Hamas;

Israel has broken nearly every taboo during this genocide. This will affect us all. They’ve targeted:

~ medical personnel and hospitals
~ children and schools
~ journalists and media
~ citizens and residential neighborhoods
~ houses of worship

Is there anything sacred left?





And:
~ the dead and cemeteries

Why and how is "self-defense" used as a pretext for aggression, war and genocide?

In this interview with Professor Caroline Blanchard (linked at end of thread), I use a comparative approach to violence in animals and humans.

The Perils of Liberal Reform: Lessons from Martin Luther King Jr. to Palestine

With genocide taking place and a pervasive feeling of helplessness, people of conscience wonder re best tactics to achieve equality and justice. 2/ The continued oppression of marginalized communities hinges on the liberal bourgeois class, a group of people Martin Luther King Jr referred to as “white moderates” in his letter from Birmingham Jail.

The Israeli population was prepared to carry out genocide. Can we trace it to a single event?

I claim we can.

While the genocide of the Palestinian people has been ongoing since 1948 and before, this current stage of explicit genocide began with a trial balloon.

A thread 🧵 1/ 2/ On Thursday, March 24th, 2017, an Israeli soldier - Elor Azaria - was filmed executing a wounded Palestinian man alleged to have carried out a stabbing attack against Israeli soldiers in the Tel Rumeida neighborhood of Hebron.

Zionists and white supremacist antisemites, a match made in hell. From Balfour to Netanyahu.

A short thread 🧵 1/

The Zionist collusion with antisemites and fascists has a long history going back to Balfour. It runs deep and is orchestrated by those at the very top. 2/ Balfour said: “We have to face the facts. Men are not born equal, the white and black races are not born with equal capacities: they are born with different capacities which education cannot and will not change.”

It is nothing new. It has been going on for over 75 years in Palestine and hundreds of years on Turtle Island.

A short thread 🧵 1/ 2/ Until October 7, Israel upheld its founding aspiration, enforcing a doctrine of endless occupation while oscillating between implicit and explicit forms of genocide, the latter often described as “mowing the lawn” in reference to Israel’s
